Dear natdave67,I perform a lot of lip injections with fillers such as juvederm and it works great. Many times I need to put more in one side than the other to attempt to even out the vermillion border (The red line of the lip). This helps provide more symmetry at times.For patients looking for a more long lasting result, I recommend fat grafting. That is, using your own bodies fat to make your lips naturally look more shapely. The bonus is that the results last many many years.In general, I avoid using permanent prosthesis because I find that the lips are such dynamic and sensitive structures, the end result is not natural.Daniel Barrett, MDCertified, American Board of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery

Hello and thank you for your question. Medically this would not be a problem however the trauma of lip filler plus the high speed wind may cause some pain. It would be best to space these two things out a little more for comfort. Hope this helps, Best wishes
Thanks for your question. Yes. As long as you are in good overall health, you should be able to have fillers. As far as antibiotic prophylaxis, I would ask your cardiologist, as they are seeing you and know the status of your heart and its structures. It is very important that you tell your...
